Since the birth of photography, it has remained in a loving embrace with its older kis­sing cousin, pain­ting. They serve each other, inspire each other, and swap roles. But this intimate relation­ship car­ries a whiff of shame, as the lovers don’t like to appear in public together. The exhibition Con­stel­lations tries to break this taboo. We display pain­tings and photographs side by side as separate and not codepen­dent beings—they have not known or seen each other before, although they tell similar stories. We paired the works of 19 artists as an exer­cise in imagination and for a special experience: how can photographic and pain­terly visions of the world com­plement one another while each main­taining their full autonomy?
